life attending the burning of the Opera
Comique, and the nature of the Indictment

announcer Is doomed Co Ole.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-The suicide
yesterday of Henry Berhayon, brother-in-
law of DR.. j. Milton Bowers, now under
sentence of death for poisoning his wife two
years ago, has resulted in sensational de-
velopments. Berhayon left letter ad-
dressed to the Coroner, the contents of which
that official declines to reveal but it is stated
on good authority that the letter is full
confession, and that Berhayon acknowledged
that he administered the poison to his sister
for the purpose OF obtaining insurance
on her life, and exonerated Dr. Bowers
from any connection with the crime. The
letter has been placed in the hands of the
police and efforts are being made to estab-
lish the truth of its statement During the
trial of Bowers who was prRcticing ply
sician in this city, the evidence against him
was circumstantial, and Berhayon was one
of the principal witnesses for the prosecu-
tion. DR. Bowers was found guilty of muir
der in the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged. The case was appealed to the Su-
preme Court, where it is now pending.
